The end of the world as we know it could come a whole lot sooner thanks to a Donald Trump presidency. That’s at least according to one of the world’s leading climatologists who claims that the President-elect’s pledge to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate treaty could exacerbate an already worrisome issue. Penn State University professor Michael Mann told the Independent that Trump living up to his campaign promises could mean “game over” for the planet. Mann cited a recently published scientific paper that projects the planet’s average temperature will increase by between 4.0 and 4.5 degrees by 2100 — and that’s if we carry on with “business as usual.” “It does indeed provide support for the notion that a Donald Trump presidency could be game over for the climate,” Mann said about the paper, which he called “sound” and “defensible.” If the … [Read more...] about Donald Trump’s climate policies could mean ‘game over’ for the planet: scientists

On Oct. 7 of 2011, Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain sat down with CBN News' David Brody to answer a few questions. After discussing God's role in Cain's campaign ("God has been in this since the beginning," Cain claimed), Brody dished up a chocolate éclair of a question:"Are you ready for the gotcha questions that are coming from the media and others?," Body asked. "Like who’s the president of Uzbekistan?""When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I’m going to say, 'You know, I don’t know. Do you know?" Cain responded. "When I get ready to go visit that country, I’ll know who it is." More: Trump let down Sgt. La David Johnson's widow and the nation: Montel Williams More: Men are complicit in the Harvey Weinstein scandal as enablers and abusers Clearly, Cain was more adept at selling pizza franchises than statesmanship.

She may be the campaign whisperer in an often-blustery realm of Donald Trump.Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, offered a full-throated but soft-spoken defense of her father's sometimes-controversial candidacy in an interview following his speech Monday before the Detroit Economic Club."He raised me to be a strong woman and voice my opinion," she told the Detroit Free Press.

It isn't very often that the public gets to see a man's soul die inside his body. To see his dignity immolated. His manhood ripped from his bones.And to have it captured all in one picture. Oh, the picture.Late last November, President-elect Donald Trump and former Republican nominee Mitt Romney settled into a four-course dinner at New York's Jean-Georges restaurant, dining on frog legs and diver scallops. Over the previous year, Romney had been bitterly critical of Trump, calling him "con man" and "a fraud" — yet upon winning, Trump dangled the possibility of naming Romney to the position of secretary of State, leading to what would soon become Romney's Last Supper. More: The 'real' story of how the Democrats came up with their 'Better Deal' slogan More: Trump isn't learning on the job, he just doesn't care In a chilling photograph of the dinner, Romney has turned to the camera with the look of a man that would much prefer to be dining with the Grim … [Read more...] about Donald Trump has a sickening fetish for cruelty

Arguing that Donald Trump shouldn’t be President is like arguing that your dentist shouldn’t be an astronaut. Which is to say: It’s strange to even engage the question, especially because it pumps up the ugly, already overinflated Trump Blimp that eternally hovers over us (filled, like the Hindenburg, with combustible hydrogen). Oh, the humanity. Trump is a businessman, an entertainer and above all a brand. He has no public-sector leadership credibility. None. In fact, he has the opposite of credibility. There’s no word for this yet, but someone should come up with one, just for Trump. Back in 2011, Trump said the U.S., having fought for years in Iraq, should “stay and keep the oil.” The same year, he supported toppling Moammar Khadafy in Libya, but only if we could “take the oil.” (Sense a pattern?) In other words, the wannabe commander-in-chief would make “blood for oil” not an anti-war critique but a disgusting, … [Read more...] about Greenman: Donald Trump lacks credibility to be serious presidential candidate

NBC agrees Donald Trump is more suitable for a circus tent than the boardroom. The Peacock cut the cord with Trump on Monday, severing all business ties with the real estate tycoon who is running for President on a platform of racism and intolerance. It's a move that will cost him. Trump’s part ownership of Miss USA, Miss Universe and especially his role as the boss on the product-placement-heavy "The Apprentice" had lined his bank accounts and offered him an unparalleled platform to push his brand name. After NBC dropped the bomb, Trump claimed that he's the one who fired the network, blasting them as “weak.” FULL TRANSCRIPT OF DONALD TRUMP'S 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ANNOUNCEMENT But only last winter he heaped praise on the network for standing by his absurdity. “In all fairness to NBC, they have been terrific,” he told reporters. “...Whether people like it or don't like it, I'm not changing. I have views … [Read more...] about Kaplan: NBC dropping Donald Trump will cost him

The carload of Republicans running for President now has a clown. Billionaire Donald Trump threw his red rubber nose into the ring Tuesday with a jaw-dropping ad-libbed speech in which he insulted Mexican immigrants, derided foreign countries and lambasted President Obama and other American leaders as “losers.” “Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore,” Trump told the crowd in his glitzy Fifth Ave. skyscraper, Trump Tower. “I am officially running for President of the United States and we are going to make our country great again.” The real estate magnate made a less-than-imperial entrance, emerging on the main floor of the building and then descending an escalator with his wife, Melania, who wore a strapless white dress. He kicked off his speech with a series of disparaging comments about Mexican immigrants, charging many of them are carrying drugs or are “rapists.” 10 MOST OUTRAGEOUS … [Read more...] about Donald Trump enters 2016 presidential race with bizarre speech insulting Mexican immigrants, lambasting Obama

He's fired! NBC Universal pulled the plug on motormouth GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump Monday for having trashed Mexican immigrants as “rapists” and drug pushers — a move the unrepentant real estate mogul called “weak” and “politically correct.” NBC said it was “ending its business relationship” with Trump, star of “The Celebrity Apprentice,” thanks to his “recent derogatory statements” about immigrants. FOLLOW THE DAILY NEWS ON FACEBOOK. CLICK HERE TO "LIKE." The network said “respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values” — and that stance apparently didn’t mesh with Trump’s comments during his kickoff speech that Mexican immigrants are “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” The broadcaster is dumping coverage of next month’s Miss USA pageant, which Trump partially … [Read more...] about NBC cuts ties with Donald Trump over Mexico remarks; network will drop Miss USA and ‘Apprentice’ could go on without him

Donald Trump is fast discovering an inconvenient truth about running for President. It’s more than a cheap reality show. Upon announcing his presidential run, the Mouth that Foamed described Mexican immigrants as drug dealers and rapists, while so graciously allowing that he assumed some were “good people.” The only thing fact-based about Trump’s slur was bigotry toward tens of millions of taxpaying people living in the United States. Univision, the country’s largest Spanish-language TV network, broke its deal to air the Trump-affiliated Miss USA Pageant. NBCUniversal cut the Trump-affiliated Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Plus “The Apprentice” will get a new host. Trump pegged his net worth at $8,737,540,000 when he declared. In two weeks, he’s cut his brand’s media value to just about zero. Call it the art of the heel. … [Read more...] about Boob Donald Trump off the tube

Donald Trump to Univision: No golf for you! The mouthy mogul — and aspiring President — on Friday sent a letter barring Univision employees from enjoying his Miami golf resort after the network dropped coverage of his Miss USA pageant over his characterizations of Mexico and its immigrants. The letter — sent a day after Republican Trump threatened to sue the Spanish-language network for dumping the beauty contest — says officers and reps of Univision are “under no circumstances” allowed to use his Trump National Doral Miami course. FOLLOW THE DAILY NEWS ON FACEBOOK. CLICK HERE TO "LIKE." Trump turned off the network and led it to drop its July 12 showing of Miss USA after saying in his 2016 campaign launch speech that Mexican immigrants are "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime.
